BECKLEY, W.Va. (Oct. 5) — Dennis Franklin’s stellar season got even better Saturday night at Beckley Motorsports Park, where the veteran Gaffney, S.C., racer claimed a $17,000 victory in the Fastrak World Championship.

Robertson added to his solid weekend with another third-place finish, while Hot Rod LaMance of Sugar Tit, S.C., and Dan Angelicchio of Greensburg, Pa., finishing fourth and fifth.
